It is self-evident, both in historical and contemporary times that human beings sometimes resort to violence as a solution
to a problem, perceived or otherwise. This stretches from the macro to the micro. The violence of international conflict
over a border dispute with civilian collateral damage could be regarded as a severely amplified version of a domestic dispute
with a bruised woman outcome. read full story / add a comment

Today we witness the international media reporting on the fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
Few of the journalists have ever served in the military and few of them can understand the overwhelming fear, terror and daily brutality that turns men into merciless killers.

In our nice sanitised view of war, soldier kill other soldiers and do not gun down prisoners with their hands up.

The intensely savage battle for Fallujah, an American soldier was filmed shooting an apparently unarmed and wounded insurgent.
In Haditha, a squad of American soldiers ran amok and cut down men women and children with automatic weapons and grenades.

Such behaviour is nothing new in war.
